For more than 75 years, hundreds of thousands of Navy recruits were trained at Naval Training Center San Diego. It was here that these young men and women matured and received the knowledge and skills required for the challenges of military duty. Decommissioned in 1997, NTC has been designated a historic property for its architectural and cultural significance. It is a San Diego treasure and a significant community asset while continuing to hold the memories of past generations of naval recruits whose lives were transformed at NTC.
